Quebec Canada – 13th May 2025
Day 9 – The day the sun arrived. Mummy is still not 100% but she is fighting it. We decided to take a short 20min trip to Doncaster Park to see the river and attack a couple of trails. Today (weather wise) was absolutely the best day so far, it’s probably 24° and it’s hot…

Day 8 – Following on from Elliott’s Not Well, today’s episode is Kate’s Not Well. ☹️ woke up with an awful sore throat and feeling rubbish. Lots of rest today, which meant Daddy Day Care day! Started the day in the gym, Daddy didn’t realise how much this equipment hasn’t been cleaned until you are…

We finished breakfast where the little guy lost another tooth! In his cereal unbelievably! Not a roll or an apple, but his chocolate-milkshake-flavoured Frosties! Our things were packed up (everything nice and clean after our mammoth washing load was completed last night!) while the kids ran around the main lodge and we loaded the car…

Day 7 – Today’s episode is named “Des tortues sur la buche” find out later what that means. It was also Mother’s Day in Canada! Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mother’s reading this. Quick trip to the IGA Express to grab Mummy some Mother’s Day ice-cream. Not too many Mother’s Day items for sale…

The sun was trying really hard to shine for our big day at Camp! First stop of the day, was the ‘cafeteria’ lodge! For breakfast there were bear shaped pancakes for the kids and an array of home made buffet breakkie options! Eggs made to order, bacon, toast and bagels, fresh fruit and cereal including…

Michigan – 2nd May 2025
It’s Camp Day! We packed up the suitcase, readied our torches and campfire voices and away we went! Just before we reached camp, we stopped in Bellaire, at ‘Shorts’ for dinner – this was one of the HWH old-skool camp counsellor hang outs. They serve delicious, enormous pizzas and awesome bbq buffalo wings, tasty artichoke…

Michigan – 1st May 2025
We were headed to a museum today! Think the Science Museum in London, but on a smaller scale! The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves and spent a good hour walking around each of the experiment zones, playing with electricity, air, water, tsunamis and mountain ranges and laughed while being blasted in the face with the thrust…

Michigan – 30th April 2025
Stacey makes the most amazing salmon salads! This is my main takeaway from Michigan. After making lunches for Stacey, Mummy Elliott and Nate, we drove 15 minutes down the road to the church run ‘242 Community Centre’. There is nothing quite like being able to access soft play, climbing walls, basketball courts, Astroturf (complete with…

After another lunch making session, we popped to Oliver and Beth’s local hang out (Settlers Park) where they run a weekly ‘park run’ style race, which both children are currently topping their age groups for 💪🏻 and had a good run around out there. We showed Elliott and Nate where they would need to run,…

Michigan – 28th April 2025
Mummy loves staying at Stacey and Trevor‘s, because she still gets a lie-in! On making her way to the kitchen, the children had already eaten their way through several bowls of cereal and some freshly homemade pancakes (this will be a problem if they’re expecting the same level of service on our return to England)…
